There’s nothing quite like driving a beloved car on a warm summer day. The windows are down, the sun is high, and the road stretches out ahead of you. Whether it’s a Sunday spin through the countryside or a long-awaited European tour, summer is the season for classic cars.
But before you head out, it’s worth asking: is your steering wheel ready for the journey?
Your steering wheel is your connection to the road
A quality steering wheel does more than just turn the wheels. It influences the entire feel of your drive. From grip and comfort to control and confidence, this small but vital part of your car has a big role to play, especially on longer summer drives.
Over time, steering wheels can become worn, slippery, misaligned, or simply uncomfortable to hold. If your current wheel doesn’t feel quite right, or doesn’t match the look and feel of your interior, now’s the time to upgrade.
Why summer is the perfect time to upgrade
Summer brings longer days, warmer weather and more opportunities to enjoy your car, which means more time with your hands on the wheel. A well-made, properly fitted steering wheel can transform your comfort, handling, and connection to your car.
Here’s why it’s worth upgrading before your next trip:
- Improved grip for better control on winding roads
- Enhanced comfort for long drives in warm weather
- Updated style to suit your classic car’s
- era and finish
-
Peace of mind knowing your wheel is safe, secure, and road-ready
